PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A Pakistani cleric announced a $1 million bounty for killing a cartoonist who drew the Prophet Muhammad caricatures, as thousands rallied across the country Friday and authorities arrested scores of protesters.

Police put another Islamist leader under house detention amid fears religious radicals would incite more deadly demonstrations after Friday prayers. Five people have been killed in Pakistan this week during protests, but most demonstrations Friday were peaceful.

In Denmark, where the prophet drawings were first published in September, the government said Friday it had temporarily closed its embassy in Pakistan following the violent protests this week.

Pakistan recalled its ambassador to Denmark for "consultations" about the caricatures, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.

Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi, prayer leader at the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the conservative northwestern city of Peshawar, announced the mosque and the Jamia Ashrafia religious school he leads would give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the prophet caricatures — considered blasphemous by Muslims.

He also said a local jewelers' association would give $1 million but no representative of the association was available to confirm it had made the offer.

yup....the Religion of peace and tolerance

Any country that takes the side of the militant islamics by taking diplomatic measures against another country because one of the private citizens of that country offended militant islam, should be wiped off of the face of the earth. Pakistan is proving (for like the 100th time) that they are nothing more than a bunch of jihadist stooges. They are haroboring the terrorists who fled Afghanistan and continue to conduct hit and run terrorist ops, they are harboring the terrorists who have killed countless Indians in Kashmir, and they are so outraged that they can't control themselves over a cartoon that I guarantee not a single damn one of them has ever even seen.

FUCK PAKISTAN! If Moosherrif can't start kickin' some butt over there then maybe we ought to replace him with someone who can.

WHAT is WRONG with those people? Some guy a thousand miles away draws a cartoon and the whole region goes freaking nuts! Riots, violent protests, and now even million dollar death threats over A SIMPLE CARTOON?!?

I can't believe it. They burn our flags, threaten our homes, and kill our soldiers, and yet we have done nothing near close to what they have done OVER A SIMPLE ****ING CARTOON.

I usually stay out of these threads, but there is something seriously wrong with either Islam or just that whole region of the world.
